More Cows? Are You People Crazy?

In an on-going effort to see every last cow in the state of Vermont, the Northerns visited yet another dairy farm. It wasn't really a new farm; it was the dairy barn part of Shelburne Farms. The milking barns there are usually off-limits to the public, but once a year the barns are opened to visitors. NorthernMommy found out when the open house barn was happening, and encouraged Daddy and Toddler to go with her to the event ("Gotta see all the cows - all of 'em).

Well, okay: Toddler and Daddy will go if they can look at the tractors, too.

Cows and tractors - it seems that every thing the Northerns do is related to cows and tractors!


 This warning sign is on the outside of a manure pond. To take a dip in the lovely brown goo, one would have to crawl through the wooden fence, get past some strands of a nasty electric fence, and then perform their belly-flop into the nicely fermented cow poo.
Is the sign really necessary?

When I visit we can skip the tour of the cows. Tractors are on the cool list, but I don't need to see any cows. Unless they are on the grill.
Moooooooo......
